Sean Patrick Maylone and DeAnthony Nelson Jr from Ssighborggg join me on this episode to talk about their friendship and working relationship as they create weird, experimental rock together. They tell stories of international tours, partying with naked Japanese men, and headlining festivals in Mongolia. We joke about the anti-vaccination movement, and foreigners that commit crimes in Korea. 

You probably already realized that you have a lot of options as to where to get your TEFL certification, so you are probably confused a bit.

I understand.

You have probably been told different things and may be getting confused as to what to look for, what's actually important and where to buy.

History was made in Korean film industry as Joonho Bong won top Palme d'Or  in the Cannes Film Festival on May 26 for his latest film 'Parasite.' It was the first time a Korean movie director won this award, more meaningful as it is 100th year since movie first came to Korea, then Japanese colony, in 1919.  The Grand Prix, the 2nd  prize, went to Mati Diop for  her debut film "Atlantics," who became the fist black female to receive a prize.  Bong's first film was released  in 2000, and the Parasite  which explores working class struggles, was his 9th movie.  South Korean Moon Jae-in sent a congratulatory letter to Bong, commenting he was anxious to watch Parasite.

Whichever country you live in, have lived in, or will live live in, they all have their own quirks, challenges, and wonderful parts, and South Korea is no exception. Before beginning your life in Korea, it’s great to be prepared for what’s to come – and not just with the school or workplace that you’re going for. Like everywhere else, life in Korea will have its ups and downs and life in Korea may be quite different as a foreigner than it would be for a local.

 

 

Sam Hazelton and I talk about grown men crying, walruses falling to their death, Keanu Reeves, and absurd sex acts. We talk about getting choked out, huffing gas and overdosing on motion sickness pills. I tell a story about getting punched out while blacked out drunk, and how Melissa Etheridge improved my childhood.
